Last night I went to dinner with a friend and we we went mongolian barbecue and I did GREAT! It was hard to say no to temptation but I overcame a lot of the bad things. I didn't eat dessert and I tried to eat as many veggies and salad as posible. Today I've done good too with my eating and I just need to get ready to go workout. Everyone have a great day and know you can do anything u set your mind too.

What obtacle did you overcome yesterday or today?

    One of the priests here at my office, just gave me a hershey's candy bar, I thanked him but I took it to the kitchen and threw it in the garbage disposal. I know that I can count and eat it, but for me it's better not to, because I know that one now, will lead to one after a little while. I feel better if I don't have any, because the minute I do, I just crave it all day!

    i went and worked out and got a call from a friend who had gone to get a 'spray tan'. she was mortified because she thought it was too dark. i asked where she was and she happened to be at a pizza place right next to my curves.

    i went to meet her and man! what a good reminder NOT to get a spray tan! she ordered 2 slices, a salad, and a beer. me? NOTHING! i sat with her while she drank her beer, then went home, walked the pup, tried to catch a kitten that has been lingering around my apartment, then made breakfast for dinner!

    he tan actually looks much better today. i think it was just that she had just had it done and was wearing a bright red sweater. :laugh:

    I went to Mcdonalds to get an egg mcmuffin (hey, we have no groceries and it's only 300 calories!) and they gave me a hash brown by mistake. I threw it away!

    if you want to catch that kitten, use hot dogs... I am not kidding, heat them up a bit and cut them into little pieces... put them in a bowl and go outside and sprinkle some on the stoop, and then keep the bowl right next to you, if you can coix it in with more on the stoop then great but little steps at a time, closer and closer until you can grab it.
    a lady at work told me this when i found i had a litter of kittens under my front steps and i thought psshhhh yeah right.... hot dogs.. much to my surprise it worked!

    Or use an old-fashioned can of tuna with the juice in it still - they can smell that for a long way and it works well.

    good idea!
    one of the ladies in my cat group is an expert trapper. we spend a lot of time trap, neuter, releasing. we plan to start trapping at my apartment with in the next few weeks. this kitten is about 6 months old, so i think she is going to be feral but i have hopes for her. i have been feeding her for a while but when i was on my walk with my dog, she was getting 'abused' by a male feral cat. i went back to shoo him off and try to pick her up. no dice.
    when i gave up, i noticed a police car driving around the apartment apparently looking for someone. i got a little worried! what if someone saw me in the bushes in my workout gear and thought i was the workout burgular! lol! :laugh:

    We ate at home last night instead of using our giftcard at Chili's, even though we were right by the restaraunt. I know I wouldn't have eaten a salad there...I was starving and no way I would have eaten a salad, I'm soooooooo sick of salad's! We went home and ate healthy instead.

    even if you did have a salad there - the calories are SO huge. good job!
  • surprisingly some of the salads at chili arent' that healthy for you....I went there and had a chicken sandwhich, black beans, veggies and that was healtheir than the salad choices they had. That is something I have learned is sometimes you can find healtheir foods at restaurants than the salads they offer.
